G. A Mr. Malama wants to sell cheese. After a fixed set-up cost of k250, he can produce the
cheese at a cost of k9 per kilogram. He is able to produce up to 400 kg, but he plans to take
advance orders and produce only what he can sell. His market research suggests that the
amount he would be able to sell depends on the price in the following way: the amount
decreases proportionally with the price; if he charged k20 per kg he would not sell any, and if
the cheese was free he would ‘sell’ the maximum 400 kg that he could produce. What price
per kilogram should the farmer set in order to maximize his profit?
